Chapter 134: Brother is the same as me!

Although Xueyan hadn’t been able to walk many steps toward the parents, the ribbon on top of his head also skewed and fell.

Simply like a white cat dropping little gifts all along the way as it walked.

But before Simmons could frantically explain, Dad had already taken the lead to reach out and scoop up Xueyan in one hug.

Eldest Brother, on the other hand, bent down and picked up the scattered accessories that had fallen off Xueyan’s clothes due to not being worn properly.

Seeing this, Xueyan subconsciously reached out his little hands to support the tottering “ribbon head-flower” on his head.

This “head-flower” was a simulated rose that Simmons arranged for someone to manually iron out of pure silk; the blooming curvature was lifelike, and even the moist tactile feel of real rose petals was replicated vividly.

Leaning in close to smell, it even carried a faint, looming scent of white roses.

At this moment, it hung precariously on the verge of falling by Xueyan’s ear, like a little rose blooming right against the cub’s cheek, which actually made Dad, who originally tried to help straighten the head-flower, look at it without speaking a word for a long time.

This person Simmons was flashy and unreliable, but this pile of little trinkets he made was indeed rare and unusual.

Even a massive straight-A like Lu Ting could tell at a glance that this near-artwork level of quality and exquisiteness was absolutely not something easily seen on the market.

“But that’s not a ribbon! Those were originally an anklet buckled on the ankle and a belt for the waist, respectively! So wrapping them all around the head to become a ribbon is naturally unstable!”

Simmons, pressed down by Lu Jing, felt extremely wronged and wanted to defend himself.

“Anklet? Then what about the shoes? How come the shoes are gone too?”

As soon as Lu Huai came in, he was completely attracted by Xueyan’s novel little clothes; his eyes widened, looking everywhere on the ground for shoes.

Xueyan, held in Dad’s arms, indeed wasn’t wearing little shoes.

“Hehe, this you don’t understand, right? This set precisely has a shoeless design, because it is a little Cupid angel who will bring blessings to people!”

Simmons, talking about his own art, started getting smug again.

Angels naturally do not wear shoes!

Simply designing an anklet buckled on the ankle is incomparably perfect; adding shoes would instead be a superfluous burden like drawing legs on a snake.

“…If it’s an anklet, then why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Lu Li 2.0, with a darkened face, was completely depressed.

No wonder he said this size looked too small tied on the head, and didn’t seem right as a necklace on the neck either; who could have thought it would be tied on the foot?

Who on earth goes out without wearing shoes properly, and instead ties a flower around their ankle.

This so-called fashion was just what kind of messy stuff.

“You didn’t ask me either! And you didn’t allow me to personally go help put it on! Getting a bit closer and I’m glared at by you guys like a criminal suspect!”

Simmons, questioned by Lu Li like this, felt even more heartache.

Seeing this, Lu Jing also finally released the hand holding Simmons down, and instead raised her eyes to look at Old Third.

Only then did Lu Li realize he hadn’t paid attention and accidentally revealed a flaw; he immediately stood up slightly straighter, his expression also restoring to its usual everyday calmness.

Just a sort of aloof and prestigious expression of not caring no matter what happened, hehe.

“Be quiet, turn up the AC first.”

Eldest Brother, whose forehead ached slightly from the noisy atmosphere, had an aura so manic-depressive that a single instruction made the venue quiet down anew.

He didn’t wear shoes either, and he didn’t know if he would catch a chill.

Neither Old Third nor Simmons were reliable; if Lu Jing hadn’t proposed coming to take a look today, Lu Xun worried that he would catch a cold right after taking the photos and going home.

“Um… it’s actually already at the highest temperature, and the floor is also fully covered with carpets, guaranteeing he won’t catch a chill during the shoot!” A staff member on the side hurriedly replied in a low voice.

Although after reporting, he scratched his head a bit strangely; wait, wasn’t his boss Simmons? Why did it feel like this person was more like a director than Director Simmons!

And Lu Xun, seeing the AC was indeed already turned to the highest, reached out again to touch the temperature of Xueyan’s toes, only relaxing his brows a bit after finding they were indeed not icy cold.

“Not cold, but I want to change clothes, Brother.” Xueyan said softly.

Not only was he not cold, he was even sweating a bit from the anxiety of not wearing the clothes properly.

“Hehe, then I also want to go help adjust the clothes!”

Hearing this, Lu Huai immediately raised his hand; his mood for playing with dolls had never run so high.

“Old Fourth, stand there for me, you’re not allowed to come over.”

As a result, a single sentence from Lu Ting extinguished Lu Huai’s enthusiasm right on the spot.

Leaving only Lu Huai and Lu Li standing on the side together, exchanging a glance with each other.

Heh.

Lu Huai, with both hands in his pockets, felt that Lu Li was simply useless. [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] He couldn’t even put on clothes properly. Those who didn’t know would think he was some playboy dandy, a precious young master who stretched his arms out for clothes and opened his mouth for food every day, right?

While Lu Li, who was just about to go change his own outfit’s styling, heard this weird laugh and instantly turned his head to coldly glance at Lu Huai.

Making Lu Huai freeze for a moment, thinking, could it be that this guy Old Third isn’t a pretending piece of dead wood anymore? It was never this easy to piss him off before.

Although when Lu Li saw the second set of pure white, heavy-industry haute couture formal suit, his whole person also froze, even suspecting whether this was something that guy deliberately left for him.

“I’m wearing this kind of thing?”

He hated this kind of plain white stuff the most. Mm… except for Xueyan.

“That’s right, a black and a white pope standing as equals. Do you understand the religious aesthetic design in this!?”

Simmons, sensing Lu Li’s disgusted tone on the side, wished he could knock Lu Li out, letting this guy just keep this face and body to walk the runway, without needing to express any fashion opinions from his mouth.

“…”

Very good, next time it should be his turn to go online and pick first.

Lu Li silently recorded another lesson learned in the black little notebook in his heart.

Over ten minutes later, the adjusted Xueyan finally made a shiny reappearance.

This time, under the careful grooming of Eldest Brother and Second Sister, all details were perfect and rigorous; he completely turned into a little white Cupid angel who would bring happy roses to people!

“Meow?”

Charlie was even stunned looking at Xueyan.

He tried to use his nose to sniff the little roses on Xueyan’s clothes, seemingly wondering how flowers could grow on clothes.

“Oh—Heavens, how could God create such a perfect and cute creature!?”

Simmons, turning around and seeing this scene, directly started twisting on the spot; with both hands holding his cheeks, countless little stars surfaced in his eyes, and love roses seemed to be spinning all around his whole person.

Scaring Dad into forcefully blocking in front of Xueyan, reaching out and pressing down Simmons’s head, attempting to make this guy stop his weird behavior.

“Simmons, what are you doing again?”

And when Lu Li, who had finished his makeup and styling, appeared quite impatiently in front of everyone, the entire venue fell even more silent; even Dad and the others froze for a moment.

Because Lu Li, who had changed into this haute couture makeup and styling, surprisingly also had his hair made into long white hair by the stylist; paired with a complete set of complex and gorgeous formal suit bearing religious colors, his aura was astonishing.

The moment those strong-featured, handsome brows and eyes opened, it faintly carried a trace of shocking divinity.

It was just that this pure white pope’s brows and eyes held an extra subtle aura of being both righteous and evil, but this sense of contradiction instead made it easier for people to fall into its trap.

Lu Huai, who was originally being cynical and weird, now looked at Lu Li dumbfounded, thinking that indeed, a Buddha relies on gold plating and a person relies on clothes.

Even this guy Lu Li, after tidying up a bit, actually had a bit of a decent-looking vibe!

“Brother has become the same as me!”

It wasn’t until Xueyan softly spoke this sentence that the whole family instantly looked back and forth between the big one and the small one several times.

Realizing it really was true; now, apart from Xueyan having white hair in the family, Old Third did too!

But seeing Xueyan pounce over, Lu Li’s body instinctively bent down to catch him, pulling the soft clump into the crook of his arm, and lowered his eyes to look over.

“Brother has white hair just like me…”

Xueyan carefully touched his brother’s long white hair, and this repeatedly and joyfully muttered sentence inexplicably made Lu Li, who was originally very impatient with the wig set, feel that this white hair styling seemed to be not bad.

“Quick—where’s my camera equipment!? Start shooting for me right now immediately ahhh—”

Simmons watched this scene, feeling that shooting one second less was losing a hundred million.

Everyone in the venue, startled awake, also hurriedly took action full of drive, universally feeling that this time the magazine sales were going to explode.

Many times, everyone can actually get a feel for a magazine’s results during the shooting process; after all, whether it looks good or not is obvious to all, isn’t it?

Taking either one of Lu Li’s two styling sets out individually felt like it could carry a season’s sales king.

If the two styling sets appeared at the same time, wouldn’t that result in an even more bloody battle, making people completely unable to choose, wishing they could have all of them—the black, the white, the big, and the small!?

Dad and the others, who originally came to see Old Third’s abnormality, rarely and quietly watched Simmons lead his team into a fanatically focused working state.

Because even a layperson could easily see that this scene was indeed extremely beautiful.

Old Third, who was always silent and quiet on normal days, as long as he stood in front of the camera or under the spotlight, it was like he instinctively entered another persona; even his gaze and aura changed accordingly.

So, which one was actually the real one?

Or perhaps every one of them was real?

But Lu Ting, as a father, had to admit that it seemed his past self truly never understood many of Old Third’s real thoughts, and even up to now, he still lacked a lot, a whole lot.

Compared to Lu Ting and the others who were lost in thought, Lu Huai watching this scene simply almost shattered his teeth from grinding them.

Tell me, why does this guy Lu Li have so many fancy tricks!? He even flashily permed white hair! Thinking that by perming white hair, Xueyan will keep staring at him from now on, right?!

“No, Teacher Lu Li’s styling this time is a wig, because perming white hair is more damaging to the hair quality.”

A staff member on the side, hearing Lu Huai’s gnashing and muttered complaints, carefully explained a sentence on Lu Li’s behalf.

A wig?

Wait, bringing the topic back, about this perming hair thing…

Lu Huai, suddenly deep in thought, stroked his chin, his eyes growing brighter and brighter, scaring the staff member on the side into completely not daring to speak anymore.

Did she say something wrong? But between these biological brothers, there shouldn’t be any issues, right?

After formally finishing the shoot more than an hour later, Lu Li deliberately didn’t take off the wig styling, but instead simply kept this head of long hair for Xueyan to hold and play with.

Xueyan, towards the fact that a parent also had the same hair color as himself, exhibited an extraordinarily joyous sense of attachment.

Actually, even though the family never said a single word about Xueyan’s hair color, and Auntie Cheng frequently muttered about how pretty this hair was and why he always had to wear a little hat, Xueyan still preferred wearing a hat to feel a bit more secure.

It wasn’t until today when his brother also had white hair that Xueyan, for the first time, did not proactively ask to wear a hat.

Instead, when he was held in his brother’s crook of the arm walking out of the building to get in the car and go home, he looked at the pedestrians staring here in shock not far away, smiled with his eyes curving into crescents, and hid inside his brother’s long white hair.

He completely used his brother Lu Li’s long white hair as a little scarf.

After Lu Li noticed Xueyan’s movement, he frowned slightly, turned to look over, and directly raised his hand to tuck Xueyan further into his arms, bending down to get in the car.

“Heavens, were those the newly recruited models for Masis just now? [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] This is too handsome, isn’t it?”

Two young white-collar workers who just got off work simply had no way to use words to describe the fleeting glimpse just now; the two white-haired models, one big and one small, were simply stunningly breathtaking!

They wished they could take a photo and post it online, letting netizens find out all the information about these two within three seconds!

Unfortunately, due to their shock, they completely didn’t have time to take photos, and the other party’s group had already all gotten into the car and left.

#Two super good-looking white-haired models appeared at the Masis building this afternoon, one big and one small, looking very much like an older brother and younger brother around the eyes, does anyone know who they are!?#

When this post surfaced on the internet that evening, it attracted some attention, but not much.

Because speaking of Masis’s white-haired model, the first thing everyone thought of was that “Dance in the Rain” poster; the little model on it indeed revealed a few strands of white hair.

Because of this, Masis even suffered a wave of attacks, saying that if they had artificially made the little model dye his hair white, this obviously did not align with child protectionism, and equated to making young children entering the fashion industry prematurely bear the price of chemical dyes.

But some people also believed it might have been edited out during post-production retouching, and weren’t you rushing to criticize just because you wanted to smear Masis? If shooting a set of posters really gave a hundred thousand yuan, they wouldn’t believe there wasn’t a bunch of little models rushing to line up to dye their hair.

In short, opinions varied.

But now this little model had already been poached away, and as for the adult white-haired male model, they even more so didn’t know who it was.

[And as everyone knows, white hair makes you look dark. It’s not like male stars haven’t done white hair styling in TV dramas before; the ratio of disasters is far greater than the ratio of stunning ones, relying entirely on fans blindly praising a flourishing age of beauty (awkward)]

[+1, Did Masis taste the sweetness of white hair and prepare to do another wave this time?]

[This is definitely a clickbait account building traffic, everyone disperse! If there really were such good-looking white-haired models, could they still not be famous by now? Not to mention they look very alike around the eyes? Just thinking about it lets you know it’s impossible.]

So, after discussing for not long, whether it was Masis’s fans or anti-fans, they unanimously agreed that this original poster’s motives were impure, leading to the girl explaining earnestly for a long time with nobody believing her.

“Could it really have been a hallucination?”

But he was really very familiar, especially that brother with the long white hair; it really seemed like she had seen him somewhere.

He Yueyue, who never followed stars, pondered bitterly for a long time, until during mealtime she suddenly saw the tag hanging on her sister’s schoolbag, who had just returned home from school.

“Wait, who is this!?”

He Yueyue shocked-ly grabbed the tag, carefully identifying the brows and eyes on it.

“Sis, are you finally going to start following a star? This is my bias Lu Li—! Even though he just terminated his contract during this period and doesn’t have any face-showing schedules, investing in him is not a loss, Sis!”

Her sister hurriedly and excitedly took the opportunity to promote him, attempting to develop every possible fan.

Recently, during the empty window period after Lu Li went solo, who knows how many people were mocking that Lu Li was probably going to flop completely after terminating his contract, because his old teammate had unexpectedly announced the supplement of one of the top five magazines, “Jia Shang”, just a few days ago.

Although it was just a supplement, its value was also full-weight; that company definitely invested heavy capital into it, just to make Lu Li regret.

“…Then your idol might also have a new magazine immediately, I guess.”

Although He Yueyue didn’t follow stars, she also knew that Masis belonged to the top tier among luxury brands; a magazine business that could make Masis pay the bill felt like it would absolutely not be bad either.

“Hehe, taking your good words, Sis. Anyway, us Pears will absolutely not un-fan easily!”

Although her sister didn’t take it seriously, she was still very happy to hear it.

And a decision made by Simmons after finishing the shoot indeed shocked Steve.

That was that Simmons planned to add budget and raise the tier, directly elevating Lu Li’s magazine business this time from an inner page to the main issue’s cover,

“Even though I admit this set of works is indeed perfect beyond imagination, but letting such a young face appear on the cover, won’t it really trigger public questioning? If it fails to carry the sales by then and its value is questioned, it’s also a great loss for the magazine itself!”

Steve was truly afraid of Simmons; he felt that the family arranging him to be by Simmons’s side, facing these unorthodox decisions every day, could shorten his lifespan by thirty years.

“No, no, no, not only do I want to put Lu Li on the cover, I also want to include blind box voting tickets as a free gift inside this issue of the magazine! A and B, two versions of black and white pope voting tickets, a surprise random drop in the box, and the official website will announce the two tickets in real time, deciding the finale design for the next season. How about it, Steve?”

Simmons completely ignored how long Steve had been nagging, purely already immersed in his own commercial conception, unable to extricate himself.

Steve’s brain spun for a long time before he realized what Simmons was talking about.

Magazine? Blind boxes? Type A and B fighting it out?

How come putting these words together, he couldn’t understand a single one? Steve, who always considered himself a reformist, felt that he had turned into an old antique in front of Simmons.

Meanwhile, the Lu family group who returned home after finishing the shoot, seeing how the sweet cub was already firmly sticking to Old Third’s side, had no choice but to temporarily shelve their original plan of talking with Old Third.

“It doesn’t matter, just wait until the magazine comes out.”

Lu Jing, on the contrary, had a face full of indifference.

“But where did that brat Old Fourth run off to again?”

Old Dad Lu Ting puzzledly looked around for the missing Lu Huai; in his heart, he was quite surprised that Old Fourth didn’t make a fuss this time, but the person disappearing seemed abnormal too.

It couldn’t be that he wanted to run away from home, making the family also mobilize collectively to go find him, right!?

[Lu Huai: Don’t worry about me, I just have a little bit of a new aesthetic conception. Just you all wait hahaha—]

Lu Huai’s message popped up in the family group chat, and the whole family fell silent.

This guy Old Fourth also started having an aesthetic conception?

In fact, when Lu Huai, carrying a schoolbag, appeared smugly and trying to act cool in front of the dining table the next day, the whole family was silenced.

Because Lu Huai actually really went overnight to perm a white short hair styling!

Paired with the Alpha’s inherently untamed and handsome brows and eyes, he was so handsome and eye-catching it was a complete mess, looking even more like a top-tier idol than Lu Li.

Xueyan, who was just being led downstairs to eat and rubbing his eyes, stared blankly at Fourth Brother just like this, even forgetting to blink his big eyes.
